Abstract

Background: Our school had increased full-time and adjunct faculty vacancies. To deal with this crisis, we recruited our clinical nurse leader (CNL) graduates. Many reported not feeling prepared to teach. This article describes changes made in a CNL curriculum to better prepare graduates for positions in academic nursing education.

Method: While the CNL skill set was created for care of patient populations, it is also transferable to nursing education. Previously, our curriculum used only clinical experiences to teach aspects of CNL practice. We added academic educational experiences and content into our curriculum as another means of teaching the skill set.

Results: The size of our CNL program doubled. Students reported gaining confidence about the CNL role in both clinical and academic settings.

Conclusion: This curricular change allows CNL students to "try on" the role of nurse educator. This exposure may increase their desire to pursue a career in academia. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].

重新调整临床护士长课程以应对护理师资短缺问题。

背景：我们学校的全职和兼职教师空缺增加。为了应对这一危机，我们招募了临床护士长（CNL）毕业生。许多人表示没有做好教学准备。本文介绍了为使毕业生更好地为护理学术教育岗位做好准备而对临床护士长课程所做的改变：方法：虽然 CNL 技能集是为护理病人群体而创建的，但它也可用于护理教育。以前，我们的课程仅使用临床经验来教授 CNL 实践的各个方面。我们在课程中加入了学术教育经验和内容，作为教授这套技能的另一种手段：结果：我们的 CNL 课程规模扩大了一倍。学生们表示在临床和学术环境中都对 CNL 的角色充满信心：这一课程改革让 CNL 学生能够 "尝试 "护士教育者的角色。结论：这一课程改革让 CNL 学生 "尝试 "了护士教育者的角色，这种接触可能会增加他们从事学术职业的愿望。[J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
